Tarok people petition FG over alleged killing of 400
The Tarok speaking people of Plateau State under the umbrella body of Ngwan Ishi Otrok have protested the alleged killing of 400 people in Kadarko village, Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The victims of the attack were alleged to be Tarok.
It was also alleged that the victims were killed following raids carried out by some men in military uniform.
The protesters, who matched through the streets of Jos yesterday morning, submitted their petition to the state house of assembly for onward passage to the Federal Government.
According to the protesters, “The Tarok people demand explanation and justice over the extra-judicial killing of our kinsmen.”
Chairman of the group, Comrade Nagor Ndam, said: “We have come before the House of Assembly to present our letter of petition formally over the May 2, 2015 killings of innocent lives in Wase Local Government Area of the state for a thorough investigation so that Justice will prevail.
“We want our petition to be submitted to the federal government because the killings were carried our by troops of the federal government.”
Receiving the petition, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Titus Alams, said: “I know anything about the death of a loved one is painful, but I appeal to all the Tarok people to remain calm and allow government take necessary steps to address the issue.”
He added: “Now that the people have cried out, I will make sure this petition is submitted to the appropriate quarters for action. But meanwhile, the people affected should try as much as possible to be law abiding pending government’s reaction. We don’t want anybody to take the law into his hands over the incident. We should rather allow justice to take its course peacefully.” said Alams.
Also speaking, the member representing Lantang-North as well as the Deputy Speaker, Joyce Rampnam, expressed shock over the lives and property destroyed during the raid, saying, “the elimination of a particularly generation of people by Military men without following the rule of engagements is uncalled for and unacceptable.”
The protester asked the federal government to provide relief materials to the thousands of those displaced during the raid.
